Your other 'disaster' option is to whack the can bottom (concave part) onto a heavy metal object with a sharp point/corner with just enough force to put a small hole in it, then just aim it at your sketch and fill with it till it's gone. The corner of the bar on a boxcar works but you'll probably get paint all over your freight spot. I did this with balky Krylon silvers at a layup and it took me an hour to rip up all the silver grass and dirt and throw it away and smooth over the ground.

Got Rust Magic*?

 

Ok, so I just noticed a couple differences in some labels. Can anyone shed any light on this?

 

-Safety Purple has a smaller font for Rust Magic* but I noticed it was also not a registered trademark at that time. The can also has a slightly different label design.

 

-Gold, Copper & Silver notch. The Silver has Rust Magic* The other two do not. So... I think the Metalics & Primers don't, and maybe it's the Silver that's a miss-matched can? Anyone know?

Most metallics are designed for interior use only. Metallic paints use a different formula than regular enamels, and don't hold up well to weather. The only exception that i can think of are these.

I think jib was looking for the dope on the labeling of the cans, not the usage scenario. But good luck trying to figure it out - whereas Rusto had a slow, well documented series of label changes over the years, Krylon was all over the place, changing their label design and sub-markings almost every year. Add to that the different run times for colors introduced late, discontinued early, or printed for sale in other countries and it's a tangled web to get a picture of what can said what for year X.

That big face sounds neat, why dont you tell me the exact address that your hazmat guys dispose of them so I can pick them up instead of you. Oh wait I can google that. Thanks for the future cans.
